Cheering for OU

Pennsyhusker · 2024-11-23T05:02:12-0600

Alabama at OU today. I will be cheering for OU.
I know many on here hate OU but I don’t. As an old fart I still have a nostalgia for our old Big 8 rivals and those epic games. It was a respectful rivalry.

I'll be cheering for OU as well. I also have fond memories of "the team I love to hate", the Sooners, going back to the old Big 8. I only hated them when they played us, as they ruined a lot of Thanksgivings for me when I was young.

Landomatic · 2024-11-23T05:51:14-0600

They won't win, but of course I'm cheering for them. I don't consider myself an old fart, but I miss many things about the days when OU was a part of my college football fandom. I've had drinks with Switzer twice. One time was A LOT of drinks. Both times, he could not have been cooler and was as complimentary of TO as it gets. I'd give just about anything to snag them from the SEC and get back into the Big 12 to put college football back in its rightful place.

I don’t hate OU but dislike them. But I also share your sentiment. I really do miss the days of the Big-8!

Now Texas is a team I hate!

Agreed! A lot of nice match ups today. Army and ND could be interesting. Indiana and Ohio State. CU at Kansas. Penn State at Minnesota. And a game I always liked to watch as a kid, UCLA vs. USC.

Is this another one of your, "I'll be damned, redwine had some inside info and knew exactly what the hell he was talking about" posts...or one of your "just throwing shit against the wall, which really isn't that big of a reach, and if it sticks, I'll be right" posts? Hard to tell with you sometimes ☺️

Can’t imagine any old school Husker fan will be cheering for Bama.

Like you I too being old timer I’m pulling for OU.
Respect our long rivalry with them that they decided to end not us..

I share alot of the feelings as the OP, but Its alot easier after all the years that have passed to reflect, be nostalgic, and root for the Sooners. Back in the 70s and 80s, though, the hate ran deep. Even when the bigger villain showed up - the Hurricanes, as a Husker fan, there was still a sense of reward watching the Sooners take it in shorts against a program that did to them what they had done for years to other programs - out athlete them. There was always respect, but I suspect if there was social media back in those days we would have hated OU even more - can you imagine what characters like Bosworth would have done with a social media platform?

I will be as well. Before we left the B12 I do think I could have ever imagined myself going for the gloomer Sooners but I Hate the SEC and the ESPN bias for them. So hopefully Oklahoma and Texas bring them all to reality and they realize the B10 and B12 were always the better conferences.

Huskerfan2112 · 2024-11-23T10:07:58-0600

Im hoping for NU vs OU in the Music City bowl to salvage the season

Meanfarmer3160 · 2024-11-23T10:23:55-0600

Roll Tide for the woodshed beating......just because i had a crazy ex girlfriend who was a OU FAN WITH A DOG NAMED BOOMER...... it didn't last long.

stingerz · 2024-11-23T10:41:29-0600

OU gets the beat down they deserve!!! Not a ‘Bama fan, but Boomer Sooner can suck it forever!
Then LSU beats them next week, and no bowl for them, perfect ending for me!

Bama’s going to win but I think OU defense keeps it close to the spread..

I'm a fan of Bama's coach and hate OU. I'll be rooting for Bama to just be good enough for their coach to keep his job. I believe we could have had him.....

I'm 66. Hate OU. They rank right up there with UT in how they screwed over NU when we were in the B12. They were part of the axis of evil.

If you lived in Oklahoma you would not like OU.

Fans are tremendous blowhards who spend most of their time whining about Lincoln Riley and thinking they’ve been neck and neck with Alabama the last couple decades.

Couldn’t see a more deserving fanbase sink into irrelevancy.
